I'm at my wits end. I'm about to like burn another Windows 7 disk just so I can break it in half. Never had this sort of unsolvable problem in XP. But i digress.
Ok. New computer. Just built.
-Fresh (clean) install of Windows 7 Professional with a key from my school's MSDNAA account.
-Updated the mobo drivers using the provided CD
CPU- Intel i5-2500k
Mobo- MSI P67A-C45 with Fast Ethernet by Realtek RTL8111E
Network Card either says "No ethernet cable detected" or after minute or two "Unidentified Network - Public Network - No Network Access"
When running Ipconfig. Here are the results.
Key things. The IPv4 Address is bogus and Default Gateway is **Blank**
I have literally tried EVERY windows 7 unidentified network fix I can google.
- Ipconfig /release then /renew : This fails with the error "An Error occurred while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1: The system cannot find the file specified. The /renew never get passed the configuration stage and gives the same error along with connection to DHCP server has timed out. << Duh it's trying to access bogus IP paths.
-The Bonjour fix is irrelevant as this is a fresh install and is not installed
-The DHCP Broadcast flag Broadcast does NOT affect anything whether it is enabled or disabled.
-TCP/IP reset does nothing
-The Default Gateway of 0.0.0.0 Default is not the culprit.
I have uninstalled the Network Drivers. Restarted. Installed new ones.
I have completely reinstalled Windows 7 with a reformat the hdd.
I have completely powered off, disconnected/drained power, and reset the mobo via CMOS reset.
I have reset the router, a DLink DIR-615, to orginal settings.
I have disabled IPv6, but it makes no difference.
I have reserved an IP in the router manually, and told the network adapter the settings, still it cannot connect to the router.
I have removed the router and connected directly to the modem. Windows 7 still can not automatically or manual receive proper IP and DNS settings.
I've pretty much checked and rechecked and reinstalled every possible solution.
The adapter is recognized as a properly working device in the hardware. The yellow led pulses with according that its trying to communicate with something, the green light for proper connection never appears.
Doesn't appear to be hardware problem. Oh, yes and the cable and router both work fine between a PS3, Laptop with Xp, another Wired Desktop with Windows 7, and even wifi phones have no problem connecting.
I've also tried old realtek drivers, new realtek drivers and the included CD drivers.
I'm mentally exhausted. The only option I haven't tried is to use an external wireless network card (well and a wire bridge with my laptop but i don't feel like configuring that). But I shouldn't have to buy a wifi card just to connect to the internet. Ethernet ports are supposed to plug n play. Ha yeeaaaaa rigghttttttt.
So anyone have any ideas???
